Listen "S7 Ep35: Improving digital payments for social protection"
Episode Synopsis
More new research from the CEPR-PSE Symposium 2024.
It’s infuriating when you’re expecting a digital payment to arrive, it is lost in the system somewhere, and no one seems to be able to do anything about it. Now imagine how devastating it is if that payment is all that’s keeping you and your family out of poverty. Yusuf Neggers is one of a team that have created an app to improve the administration of payments for the Indian government’s MGNREGA programme.
